(Detroit Lakes, MN) -- Spitfire Bar & Grill announced on Facebook they are closing their doors "effective immediately".

The announcement, which you can view here, says the location is closing because of workforce shortages. 

"We sincerely appreciate our team and our loyal customers, but we haven’t been able to hire enough people to provide a level of service and quality that meets Spitfire’s standards, "said the post on Spitfire's Facebook Page, "To make this a viable restaurant, which would include providing an atmosphere that our team members and patrons deserve, we simply would need more people."
